Young Pilot Barbara wants to marry the charming check-in employee Kamal. She brings him into their parent's house to spend the christmas holidays together in the romantic and snowy Bavarian countryside. Her parents Lisbeth and Gottfried are not very amused and show their full scepticism about the young Arab guy who came to Germany in order to become a pilot, as well. Aren't Arabs all archaic pashas who oppress their wives? But Barbara and Kamal belive in their big love.
